With so much trendy energy in 2014 around white cars for the latest style -- what about that other always-fashionable choice?

Black Bentley's will never go out of style. But which of the black tones fits you best?

We are fairly confident this car is Black Crystal - but it may be Beluga Black or Onyx Black.

The Onyx is least shiny, based on the configurator representations, while the Beluga black is dark is midnight. So color here is so amazingly attractive that one might forget this car lacks the Mulliner and Sport specification packages -- and the stunning 21-inch, black-spoke alloys.

Those are the main recommended options -- in addition to the dark-tinted headlamps, of course.

2015 Bentley Continental GT V8S

New Continental GT V8 S

LOWER. SLEEKER. FASTER. MEANER.

From the glorious roar as it explodes into life to the rich purr emitted at rest by its charismatic 4.0 litre V8 engine, the Bentley Continental GT V8 S represents an experience all of its own.

This powerful new member of the Continental range takes Bentley’s advanced V8 platform and pushes it even further. The result: marked improvements in performance alongside a sleeker, more sporting appearance.

The Beluga lower body styling and new-design 20” wheels are a clear statement of intent. Recalibrated engine, revised stability control and an uprated chassis complete the picture, delivering the kind of thrilling drive you expect from a sports car with Bentley’s racing DNA.

With enough space inside to comfortably seat four adults and a boot that can accommodate all your luggage, the Continental GT V8 S remains the definitive British grand tourer. But it’s the fearsome combination of limitless power and exhilarating handling of this luxury coupé that gives it the edge.
